An unregistered nurse has admitted endangering the life of a beauty salon owner who died in botched breast enlargement operation.
Yueqiong Fu prepared several syringes filled with local anaesthetic as the doctor instructed before the August 2017 operation at a clinic in Chippendale, Sydney.
Her patient, Jean Huang, died in hospital two days after the surgery.
On Friday Fu admitted to recklessly administering anaesthetic that endangered life and lying in writing to police.
She told Sydney's Downing Centre District Court on Friday she had never prepared anaesthetic before but was using 'Chinese thinking' by following everything the doctor told her.
She has since learned 'I should have critical thinking' always.
'Before I do anything, I should know what things I do and what things I can't do,' Fu told the court on Friday.
